How do I start the "The Secret Club's Secret" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

To start "The Secret Club's Secret" side quest in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, you need to visit Gerudo Town, which is located in the Gerudo Desert in the southwestern part of Hyrule. This quest is tied to the Gerudo people and their unique culture, so it requires some preparation and understanding of the area. HereÔÇÖs a detailed guide on how to begin and complete the quest.

First, you need to gain access to Gerudo Town. The town only allows women to enter, so you must disguise yourself as a woman. To do this, you need to obtain the Gerudo outfit, which consists of the Gerudo Veil, Gerudo Top, and Gerudo Sirwal. You can purchase these items from the clothing shop in Kara Kara Bazaar, which is located just outside Gerudo Town. The bazaar is a small oasis with a few shops and NPCs. The clothing shop is run by a character named Vilia, who sells the full set for 600 rupees. Make sure you have enough rupees before heading there. Once you have the outfit, equip it and approach the entrance of Gerudo Town. The guards will let you in, and you can now explore the town freely.

Once inside Gerudo Town, head to the northern part of the town where youÔÇÖll find a building with a sign that says "The Noble Canteen." This is the secret club, but you canÔÇÖt enter directly. To gain access, you need to find a way to get the attention of the person inside. Look for a small alleyway to the right of the building. There, youÔÇÖll see a small window with a red light. Approach the window and press the interact button to knock. A woman named Greta will appear and ask for a password. This is where the quest officially begins.

To get the password, you need to eavesdrop on a conversation between two Gerudo women. These women can be found near the bar in the Noble Canteen. However, since you canÔÇÖt enter the canteen directly, youÔÇÖll need to find another way to listen to their conversation. One effective method is to climb onto the roof of the canteen and find a spot where you can hear them talking. Alternatively, you can use stealth to get close enough to the window or door to overhear their conversation without being seen. The password is "GSCÔÖª," which stands for Gerudo Secret Club. Once you have the password, return to the window and tell Greta the password to gain access to the secret club.

Inside the secret club, youÔÇÖll find a variety of rare and valuable items for sale, including the Desert Voe armor set, which is essential for surviving the extreme heat of the Gerudo Desert. The armor set includes the Desert Voe Headband, Desert Voe Spaulder, and Desert Voe Trousers. Each piece can be purchased for 450 rupees, so make sure you have enough money before entering. The armor provides heat resistance, which is crucial for exploring the desert and completing other quests in the area.

One important tip is to save your game before attempting to eavesdrop on the conversation. If you get caught or fail to hear the password correctly, you can reload your save and try again without losing progress. Additionally, make sure you have enough rupees before starting the quest, as the Gerudo outfit and Desert Voe armor can be quite expensive. If youÔÇÖre short on rupees, consider selling unwanted items or completing other side quests to earn more.

A common mistake players make is trying to enter the secret club without the proper disguise or password. Remember, you must be wearing the full Gerudo outfit to enter Gerudo Town, and you must have the correct password to access the secret club. Another mistake is not having enough rupees to purchase the Desert Voe armor, which can make exploring the desert much more difficult. Plan ahead and ensure you have the necessary resources before starting the quest.

For advanced players, there are a few optimizations you can make. If you already have heat-resistant armor or elixirs, you may not need to purchase the Desert Voe armor. However, the armor is still a valuable addition to your inventory and can be useful in other areas of the game. Additionally, if youÔÇÖre skilled at stealth, you can bypass some of the eavesdropping by using stealth-enhancing items like the Sheikah Set or stealth elixirs to get closer to the conversation without being detected.

In summary, "The Secret Club's Secret" side quest requires careful preparation and attention to detail. Make sure you have the Gerudo outfit, enough rupees, and a good understanding of the area before starting the quest. Listen carefully to the conversation to get the password, and be prepared to purchase valuable items inside the secret club. With the right approach, youÔÇÖll successfully complete the quest and gain access to rare and useful items.
